A G*d fearing gentile should have the opportunity to learn his or her blessings and obligations according this universal (catholic) covenant of the Torah, and for the purpose of bearing this "light to the nations" (Isaiah 49:6) the Jewish people are appointed as a "kingdom of priests, a holy nation(Exodus 19:6)." 

A Noachide should allowed the opportunity to confess, repent, and begin to rectify his sins under it, and atone like Noah our father, prior to taking on more obligations.  Jews must also remember that they are obliged under this universal covenant, and this is our common bond with other nations and all humanity.  All humans have the opportunity for Teshuvah - Turn and repent!  Return to G*d. Relationship with the great King happens through his holy law: if there is no obedience to his command, there is no authentic relationship.

You must first become a mensch, before attempting to convert to Judaism.  If you do convert, do so as a woman of valor (eshet hayil) like Ruth, or a like a man worthy of her.   And if you remain in your original calling as a righteous human being and a Noachide, strive to be mensch who "walks humbly with his G*d", before attempting to teach messianic prophecies and their alleged or future fulfillments.

    For the instruction of law shall come forth from Zion, The word of GOD from Jerusalem.

    Mishneh Torah, Kings and Wars 9:1

    (1) Adam, the first man, was commanded with six commandments: 1) idolatry, 2) “blessing” (euphemistically) the Name (of G-d), 3) murder, 4) illicit sexual relations, 5) thievery and, 6) establishing a system of justice. Even though all of these have been received as a Tradition from Moses our Teacher and we can understand the rationale for them, nevertheless, from (verses in) the Torah (we learn that) it was these that they were commanded. A seventh commandment forbidding the eating of a limb torn from a live animal was added for Noah, as it says, “Even flesh, life is in the blood, do not eat of it” (Genesis 9:4). These commandments were universally applicable - until Abraham. With Abraham, circumcision was also commanded and he prayed Shacharis (the Morning Prayer). Isaac separated out a tithe and added another prayer in the afternoon and, with Jacob, the prohibition against eating the sciatic nerve was added, as was the Maariv (Evening) Prayer. In Egypt, Amram was commanded with other precepts and, with Moses our Teacher, the Torah was completed.

    (13) The sum of the matter, when all is said and done: Revere God and observe His commandments! For this applies to all mankind:

  12. הברכה והכונה

    The BLESSING, the PURPOSE, "The Final Cause of Human Nature"

  13. Other Ancient Transmitters of Noachide Ethics

     

    Babylonian Talmud, 56a,56b. Obligations on noachides, G*d fearing goyim/gentiles.

     

    The following ethical teachings originated in Jewish teaching to Noahides, in my opinion, but are now often mixed into idolatrous or superstitious systems of thought and their publications, therefore use discernment, and investigate them non-dogmatically with the help of an orthodox Rabbi, using primary sources wherever possible, rather than later religious translations.

    Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics V - VI.11          Justice as the cardinal virtue.  Also courage, temperance, and prudence.

    Patanjali Yoga Sutras II.27-45  the yamas - ethical restraints - corresponding to second table of the decalogue:  Ahimsa, brahmacarya, asteya, satya, aparigraha.

     

    Matthew 5-7, Joschka's "Sermon on the Mount", a hasidic interpretation of the second table of the decalogue.

     

    Romans 1 - Oneness, eternity, and incorporeality of God.  Paul's Jewish apologetics.   The futility of idolatry and body-worship, and its dark path into unnatural desire and sexual perversions.   This was probably the content of his early preaching in Galatia, which resulted in so many converts to Judaism that he wrote his anti-Jewish epistle of Galatians in order to stem the overflow.  (I suspect that Galatians is a Marcionite redaction of a much longer letter)

     

    Romans 9-12  re-affirmation of Torah Judaism and eternal covenant, relationship of gentile God-fearers as "grafted into the olive tree of Israel",  correcting the anti-Jewish teachings of Marcion and the gnostics, for "Christ is the purpose of the law" ( equivocally translated "end of the law" and deliberately misinterpreted by Christian expositors to mean "abrogation of the law"), but "Jacob have I loved, Esau I have hated", and warning gentiles "do not boast against the root, for you do not support the root, but the root supports you".   Christianity has stubbornly rejected these teachings.

     

    Romans 13 The second table of the decalogue, and requirement for courts of law

    Romans 14  Prohibition on idolatry: dietary restrictions for Noahides who are christ-followers, which would enable them to have table fellowship with Jews. 

    Romans 15 "Whatever was written before was for our instruction (Torah), that through patience and encouragement we might have hope" ... "Christ has become a minister to the circumcision (the Jews) for the truth of God, to confirm the the promises of the patriarchs, and to the nations for hasidut/mercy to glory God, even as it has been written, 'Therefore I will confess you among the nations, and your name I will praise' and again he says, 'Rejoice, O nations, with his people'".

     

    (Christianity has utterly departed from these apostolic teachings, giving them perverse anti-Jewish interpretations at odds with the plain meaning of the texts, to promote its false, unbiblical, and immoral doctrines of the abrogation of law, the supercession of covenant, and replacement of Jews by the church, and a "trinity" in which "Christ" is idolized and simultaneously disobeyed, and effectively replaces God)

     

    Paul was actually teaching a form of Hasidic Judaism, and teaching the Noahide covenant to the "Hasidei meUmot Olam" - the "Pious among the nations of the world".   This is why the Pharisees defended him in the Sanhedrin in Acts ___, and why early Christian patriarchs and many evangelicals and greek orthodox today hold that he relapsed into a "Jewish heresy" at the end of his life and in his pastoral epistles - they misread Paul through a Marcionite lens today, just as they did during his own life.

    (23) Thus said GOD of Hosts: In those days, ten people from nations of every tongue will take hold—they will take hold of every Jew by a corner of their cloak and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

    Genesis 9:1-2
    (1) God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fertile and increase, and fill the earth. (2) The fear and the dread of you shall be upon all the beasts of the earth and upon all the birds of the sky—everything with which the earth is astir—and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand.

    Psalms 1:1-3
    (1) Happy is the man who has not followed the counsel of the wicked, or taken the path of sinners, or joined the company of the insolent; (2) rather, the teaching of the LORD is his delight, and he studies that teaching day and night. (3) He is like a tree planted beside streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, whose foliage never fades, and whatever it produces thrives.

    (23) Then the man said, “This one at last Is bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called Woman, For from man was she taken.” (24) Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh.

    (26) And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

(28) God blessed them and God said to them, “Be fertile and increase, fill the earth and master it; and rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the living things that creep on earth.”

    (12) God further said, “This is the sign that I set for the covenant between Me and you, and every living creature with you, for all ages to come. (13) I have set My bow in the clouds, and it shall serve as a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. (14) When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, (15) I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature among all flesh, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. (16) When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures, all flesh that is on earth. (17) That,” God said to Noah, “shall be the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and all flesh that is on earth.”
